Off Beat

by Heather Woodward, Heather Diemer

Will Morris has spent four years preparing to be drum major. When senior year arrives and someone else gets the position he’s dreamed of, his carefully planned future crumbles.
Devastated and questioning his worth, Will struggles to find his place in a band where everyone else seems to be moving forward. Through conversations with a wise mentor and the pressures of marching season, he slowly discovers that true leadership isn’t about titles-it’s about making others better.
But when his unofficial leadership role comes under attack, Will must decide whether to fight for his place or walk away from everything he’s built.
A heartfelt coming-of-age story about finding your voice when the spotlight isn’t on you, and learning that sometimes the path you didn’t choose becomes exactly where you were meant to be.
